2. Description of the Related Art Known toothed belts include those formed from vulcanized rubber and those formed from liquid polyurethane or the like. Among them, the toothed belt made of polyurethane is mounted on a power transmission device such as a bicycle used outdoors because of its excellent weather resistance and wear resistance. This polyurethane toothed belt has a configuration in which teeth and grooves are alternately arranged at a constant pitch in the longitudinal direction of the belt, and a core wire made of a rope such as glass fiber or aramid fiber is embedded in a back portion on a pitch line.

[0003] However, in this toothed belt, the reinforcing material does not exist on the bottom surface of the groove portion, so that the bottom surface of the belt is worn and the core wire is easily damaged. Specifically, foreign substances such as dust and sand get stuck between the surface of the pulley teeth and the bottom surface of the belt during driving, and the bottom surface of the belt is rubbed and easily worn, exposing the core wire. As a result, the core wire absorbs moisture and causes a decrease in strength, causing the belt to be cut early.

However, the conventional toothed belt made of polyurethane in which the belt tooth portion and the tooth bottom surface are covered with canvas has a problem that the canvas sufficiently protects the belt tooth portion and the tooth bottom surface. Wire damage is small and high load transmission is possible. However, when manufacturing this belt, the canvas could not be in close contact with the tooth surface unless the canvas was previously aligned with the groove of the mold. In addition, Japanese Patent Publication 5-62
The transmission belt disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 657 reinforces the entire tooth portion.

However, as a result of examining the conventional toothed belt, it is not necessary to reinforce the entire tooth portion of the toothed belt evenly, and when the toothed belt engages with the pulley, the compression stress is the most in the belt tooth portion. It became clear that it was only necessary to reinforce the belt root portion and the region including the belt root portion. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and in particular, a belt root portion which receives the most compressive stress among belt tooth portions and a region including the belt root portion are reinforced to enable high load transmission, and furthermore, manufacturing is possible. It is an object of the present invention to provide a toothed belt easily.

The boundary line B between the power transmission area 7 and the belt tip 8 is defined by the height H from the lower surface L of the core wire 5 to the tip 6 of the belt tooth portion. It is about 2/3 of L to H. The non-woven fabric 11
By disposing the short fibers 14 separated and diffused from the nonwoven fabric 11 only in the region 7,
The power transmission region 7 can be intensively reinforced. Although the belt tip 8 is subjected to compressive stress, the short fibers 14 need not be present, and an elastomeric material is sufficient. Further, by increasing the dispersion density of the short fibers 14 diffused in the power transmission region 7 near the root portion 9 of the belt, the root portion 9 of the belt can be further reinforced to prevent the occurrence of cracks.

As described above, in the toothed belt according to the present invention, the nonwoven fabric is arranged in the power transmission region which receives the most compressive stress, and the short fibers separated and diffused from the nonwoven fabric are present only in this region. By doing so, the power transmission area can be intensively reinforced, the power transmission area including the belt root can be efficiently reinforced, and cracks that easily occur from the belt root can be prevented. By increasing the dispersion density of the short fibers in the transmission region near the root portion of the belt, the root portion of the belt is further reinforced to enable high-load transmission. Furthermore, compared to the case where the entire belt tooth portion is reinforced as in the related art, since it is not necessary to have the short fiber serving as a reinforcing material at the belt tip portion, the amount of the reinforcing material to be added can be reduced. It is easy to manufacture.
